The name will be Input CGST as it is input tax which we pay when we purchase goods or services attracting GST.

Now, in Type of Duty/tax option, select GST.

For Tax type, select Central Tax for now.

You have to select State Tax for SGST and Integrated Tax for IGST and Cess for Cess.

The option Inventory Values are affected will be set to No because it has no use for this ledger.

Percentage of calculation should be set to 0%. It is because Tally takes the percentages from your configuration or the stock items or the classification.
This is crucial to know because if you set the percentage here you will not get the amount automatically calculated while creating an entry which includes GST.

Rounding method that I have selected is Normal Rounding. However, you can select the method as per your choice.

Rounding limit is set to zero. Again, it is my choice. You can select a different number.

Now, just press Enter till you save the ledger.

Congo! You have created a GST ledger, specifically an Input CGST ledger in Tally.
